Relief for Those Stuck in the US due to COVID

This is for all those individuals and corporations with representatives that are not permanently living in the US, but are working in the US temporarily or snowbirding. A number of filing situations are triggered once an individual has spent more than 183 days in the US. Not every person is affected by this, but some have delicate situations that are dependent on spending less than 183 days in the US (for example, FBAR filings, creating a Permanent Establishment etc.). This week, the IRS released guidance for situations wherein COVID prevents an individual from returning to their home country. Simply put, an individual will be able to exempt up to 60 days of presence in the US beginning at any date between February 1st and April 1st.
